PUTNEY, Vt. – Next Stage Arts presents Rev. Vince Anderson & His Love Choir on Friday, June 26, at the Putney Inn Field, 57 Putney Landing Road in Putney, as part of the Bandwagon Summer Series. Gates open at 5 p.m., and the concert begins at 6 p.m.
Proclaimed an “institution” by Questlove, Rev. Vince Anderson and his five-piece band, The Love Choir, bring three decades of electrifying “dirty gospel” to audiences around the world. Featuring musicians who have performed with TV on the Radio, Nick Waterhouse, and Burnt Sugar, the group has earned a reputation for unforgettable live performances that blur the lines between sacred and secular music.
Leading from the piano, Anderson delivers a raucous, revival-style show that fuses gospel, blues, psychedelic soul, and rock into a high-voltage, joy-filled experience. His dynamic stage presence and infectious energy transform every performance into a full-on musical celebration. Anderson is also the subject of the award-winning documentary “The Reverend.”
Food will be available from Smokin’ Bowls and AlpineGlo Farm Taqueria. Refreshments, including beer, wine, and nonalcoholic beverages, will also be sold on site.
The Bandwagon Summer Series is sponsored in part by M&T Bank, Lawson’s Finest Liquids, Brattleboro Reformer, Oak Meadow, and Pepsi Brattleboro. This concert is sponsored in part by Community Bank.
The Bandwagon Summer Series is a family-friendly outdoor cultural performance series running from June through September. Featuring a diverse range of musical styles, puppetry, and circus arts, performances take place at ballfields, farms, and parks throughout Putney, Brattleboro, and Bellows Falls.
